ABSTRACT
This paper presents the steady state analysis of power system using Power World Simulator. Analysis gives information
about system voltage, power flows and losses in the system at different loading conditions. Analysis will recommend
suggestion for stable operation of the system. The analysis is demonstrated by considering a case study of IEEE 6 bus
power system. The performance analysis of the change in voltage and reactive power at the load side and generator
side is done using the Power World Simulator software package (Version 16GSO). The outcome of this work helps in steady
state monitoring, expansion of existing power system and design of new power system.
Keywords: Steady State Analysis, Power World Simulator, Power Flow.

INTRODUCTION In steady state security assessment of a power system, it is

In steady state monitoring of a power system, it is
important to predict the line flows and bus voltages for
different operating conditions. Steady state is the ability of
electrical machine or power system to regain its
original/previous state is called Steady state stability. The
stability of a system refers to the ability of a system to return
to its steady state when subjected to a disturbance. As
mentioned before, power is generated by synchronous
generators that operate in synchronism with the rest of the
system. A generator is synchronized with a bus when both
of them have same frequency, voltage and phase
sequence. The authors can define the power system
stability as the ability of the power system to return to
steady state without losing synchronism. Usually power
system stability is categorized into Steady State, Transient
and Dynamic Stability. Steady State Stability studies are
restricted to small and gradual changes in the system
operating conditions. In this basically concentrate on
restricting the bus voltages close to their nominal values.
And also ensure that phase angles between two buses are
not too large and check for the overloading of the power
equipment and transmission lines. These checks are
usually done using power flow studies.
important to predict the line flows and bus voltages for
different operating conditions and network topologies of
a power system [1, 2]. In the literature, several approaches
such as DC power flows [2], the distribution factor [3]
method have been proposed to estimate the line flows for
real time applications which are in general less accurate.
With the development of artificial intelligence and
Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in recent years there is
growing interest for proposing these tools to different
areas of power system [4-7]. In [8] artificial neural network
was used for dynamic security assessment of power
system. The Multilayer Perception (MLP) model with Back
Propagation algorithm (BP) was applied to predict the
Critical Clearing Time (CCT) under different operating
conditions and topology of the power system. Hsu et al [9]
developed a fast voltage estimation method using four-
layered ANN. In the design of ANN, sets of variable that
affect bus voltage most were selected as the input to the
ANN using entropy function. Ghosh et al [10] designed a
multilayer neural network for line flow contingency
ranking. A regression based correlation technique was
used for feature selection to train the ANN using back
propagation.

1. Proposed Approach
The proposed approach is the application of Power World
Simulator software for steady state analysis of a power
system. This will help to monitor steady state of a power
system by predicting the line flows, line losses and bus
voltages for different operating conditions.
2. Steps Involved in Analysis
At the beginning, install the Power World simulator [11],
after that open the new case. Then follow the steps
·Draw the buses and enter the data
·Draw the transmission lines and enter the data as
given.
·Draw the generators and enter the data.
·Draw the load and enter the data.
Now run the model and check for the steady state. Take
the load level at 1 pu. Analyze the model observe the
changes in the system. Change the load level and enter
the load levels as per the given data. Note down the line
flows, line losses and bus voltages. The result obtained for
different load levels of the system is given in the tables
below along with the graphs.
3. Case Study
To demonstrate proposed approach, IEEE-6 Bus System is
considered as shown in Figure 1.
MVA Base=100 MVA
System Frequency = 60 Hz
Bus Nominal Voltage =11KV
Bus Maximum Voltage = 11.5 KV
Bus Minimum Voltage = 10.4 KV 4. Simulation Model
The simulation model for IEEE-6 Bus system is developed
by using the Power World Simulator Software Package
(Version 16GSO) is shown in Figure 2. The system load data,
parametrs and different loading conditions are given in
Table 1, Table 2, Table 3 & Table 4.
5. Simulation Results
The results of Power World Simulator simulation for MW and
MVAR losses for different loading conditions are given in
Table 5.
